the papers contained insulting charges

which the committee had refused to con-
slider. Messrs. Wall and Bryan disclaim-

After some confused debate on the
motion the roll was called to decide

read. The result was: Yeas, 80: Nays,
81. The report was ordered read. Sen
ator Mann asked for ruling as to what
was a report. These papers, which
would only throw a fire brand into the
caucus, and embitter the contest. were
not a report, but matters considered by
committee, and had nothing to do with
the purpose of the committee, which was
to arrive at a method of breaking the
deadlock. These papers only made the
deadlock worse.
MANLY AND FEARLESS.
Senator Miller. being called on by the
Chair to say whether the papers consti-
tuted a report, replied that he under
stood that the papers might be considered
the report. They are said TO be charges of
an infamous character against the high
est officer in the State. Those who make
the charges protest that they did not
mean any disrespect- Let the caucus
settle that. The result will be that the
person in whose behalf the charges are
made will be overwhelmed by perfect
mountain of public opprobrium.
